Ok. I've written about this before, but there is no reasonable explanation as to why other people who go to DevDays are getting some very cool stuff, especially [a DVD with lots of goodies and all the lectures](http://flimflan.com/blog/archive/2004/03/13/153.aspx), and we (In Israel)get practically nothing?

Sure, there was no admission price, but what about giving us all the stuff from Vertigo Software, such as the **[IssueVision sample](http://weblogs.asp.net/CFranklin/archive/2004/03/18/91746.aspx).**
